Team India on top

Two-time finalists India and defending champions Australia top the WTC points table with 71.67 and 62.50 PCTs respectively. If the Kanpur Test between India and Bangladesh ends in a draw, India's PCT may fall to 68.18. However, even after this the team will remain on top.

The Australian team is undoubtedly at second place, but it still has to face South Africa and Sri Lanka. Both these series are not going to be easy for the team. If the team loses even one series, it may be difficult for it to reach the finals.

Kiwi team will face India in October

Sri Lanka are scheduled to tour South Africa for a two-Test series before hosting Australia in January. On the other hand, New Zealand will next face India in a three-match Test series starting from October 16 in Bengaluru.
